Welcome to the scene of adventure!
Astrid Lindgren’s Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is a timeless tale about the power of friendship, longing for the spring and freedom, taking responsibility, and overcoming prejudice – and how we are more alike than we are different.
Adapted by Akse Pettersson and directed by Aleksis Meaney, the performance invites us on a wild adventure that both sends shivers down the spine and reduces to helpless laughter. The production’s gorgeously visual rendering transforms the National Theatre’s Main Stage into an enchanting fantasy world captivating theatregoers big and small with its startling beauty. The wonderful Aksa Korttila and Otto Rokka star as Ronja and Birk.
